1990 dodge caravan engine swap

the easiest swap would be a 2.5 turbo swap, i suggest reading Donovan's Dodge Garage
with the 2.5 turbo swap, you need to get a turbo fuel pump, the motor, wiring harness, ecu, and transmission, all of the mounts are the same and everything will bolt right up.
you could do a 2.4 swap, but you would have mounting problems and nothing would be a bolt on, you could also do a 2.4 head on a 2.2 or 2.5 block, but that is still a substantial amount of work too.
